Hans and others use SciTE. Does it provide Unicode/bidirectional support support?

You can set it up to use UTF-8, but I don't think it supports r-t-l or bidi.

That's really too bad:-(( I actually have UniType Global Writer but it's really a pain to use for TeX source editing. On the other hand, it can be used to copy and past to WinEdt (where it will show up as utf-8 ascii). An all-in-one solution would be much better though.

Now I'm a KDE lover myself;-) but doesn't GTK support bidi/rtl? So shouldn't SciTE support bidi right out of the box?

In any case, I would still like to try SciTE if Hans' support files are available somewhere. Quick question: how does one activate utf-8?

Hello Idris, I think Hans properties file is available in the ConTeXt distribution at $TEXMF/context/data/context.properties and the documentation is available in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mscite.pdf For utf: Open SciTE, chose Options->Open User Options File and add the line code.page=65001 to that file. I don't know what you like, but I have some other things there too: use.monospaced=1 split.vertical=0 wrap=1 Good luck! Regards, Micke P
